“Move-in can be a stressful day – especially in the Texas heat.  With StarRez we were able to provide personalized information to our students about Move2BU.  The robust StarRez tools allowed us to effectively communicate with resident, efficiently check students in upon arrival, and ensure all facilities were ready for the students.”
